In Short
Perfect for both anniversaries and intimate birthday celebrations, Sent Sovi is one of the preferred restaurants in the South Bay for romantic dining. With high ceilings, hardwood floors, antique furnishings and brass wall paneling, the friendly restaurant attracts a somewhat older crowd with its charming French-country atmosphere. The menu changes based on both the seasonal availability of ingredients and the whim of the kitchen.

We went here on our first anniversary and it was very memorable. I called in advance about some dietary restrictions which Chef Josiah Slone was easily able to accommodate. Not only that, but he personally came out before our dessert course to confirm a certain ingredient was OK to use. Thats amazing service. We both had the vegetarian tasting menu and were very impressed. The parsnip soup was bold and flavorful, but not overpowering. There was a mushroom course (I think a Mushroom Ragout) that blew me away. Also, the cactus sorbet as a palette cleanser was a nice touch. Our waiter Javier is clearly a professional in classical dining, and led us through the evening gracefully. We'll definitely be coming back!

I will never go back, I was very clear to the chef/owner that this was my 5year anniversary and I wanted bottle of champagne opened at our table as soon as we arrived. But needless to say not only did he stick us in a corner that was very uncomfortable and odd but he did not even bother to provide the champagne or come out and meet us. The food was so poor and tasteless, our starter was the lobster salad which smelled like it was a few days old I almost gagged and the 48hr short rib that our waiter boasted about being fork tender was even difficult to cut with a knife and tasteless. Also there are lots of paintings on the wall for sale, I wasn?t sure if the owner thinks he or she is running a gallery because it?s sure he?s not running a restaurant. there are many better places to go in san jose.. now i know why the chefs leave so quickly and opent here own restaurnts. also if you like sitting on a hard chair for two ours feel free to make your reservation..

yes, this is an expensive restaurant...but a really nice, fine dining experience. We went for our anniversary and were treated really well. Greeted before getting to the door and treated to very attentive and friendly service. The food was really good. Overall, nice experience and would go back for a special treat. We don't splurge on this $$ dining very often so really enjoy a treat!
